BW2: Celebrate Nate's Birthday Event 2025! 
Posted in Bush Whacker 2.

Happy Birthday Nate!

It's that time of year again! Help celebrate Nate Dragon's birthday by decorating the Commons for him....because no one else will.

Safety First

First and foremost, whenever Nate is involved, safety becomes a priority. Find Safety Coins in the bushes and bring them to the stations in the Commons to stock up on protective gear. Turn in 10 coins at each station 50 times for an achievement. You can see the number of turn-ins you've completed at a station when you turn in a set of coins. The Kevlar Pad station is there on the first day of the event, and the Fire Extinguisher and Band Aid stations will unlock as the event goes on.

Party Preparation

Then it seems Nate needs decorations and activities to set up in the Commons. Go out daily and find things for his party. Have fun trying out the activity stations as many times as you want!

Dragon Costuming

If you're trying to get Tiny Little Arms or Just Like Nate achievements, or if you just want to have a little fun, you need to be wearing all pieces of the Dragon gear or the Nate outfit (available from the vendor's Bush Bucks store if it's your first time playing this event) while completing the 4 party Stations: Dynamite Activity, Campfire Activity, Digging Activity and the Training Whacking Activity.

Fire! Fire!

- a new cursed cubes quest, with a new companion to collect!
- new costume items in the store!
- new ranch items in the store!
- new pet packs!
- new mount packs!
- new ribbons and 100% reward!
- Updated 2 of the VIP event rewards

Holiday Plushies!

As this is the first event of 2025, we're introducing a new 100% reward set - Holiday Plushies! Collect them all!

Nate's Generous Uncle

New year, new gift from Nate's uncle! He seems apologetic enough, so maybe this one won't be cursed...

Achievements

-- POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT
There are a total TWENTY THREE possible Achievements to earn in this event:

Returning Achievements

Safety First - You completed a turn-in at each of the Safety Stations.

2025 Champion Spotlight: Mehen 
Posted in Idle Champions.

    Mehen is a tall, powerful dragonborn with dull-ocher scales and a blunt attitude. With strong opinions on the right course of action, he is just as comfortable yelling orders on the battlefield as he is fiercely protecting his daughters. Despite a life thrown into turmoil after being exiled from his clan and attempting to raise twin tieflings, Mehen remains resilient in his sense of self and his abilities with a falchion.
Verthisathurgiesh Mehen has been greatly reworked with this update. He is no less grumpy, but he should now be much easier to use -- assuming you can find the perfect spot for him in your formation!

For details on the Mehen Rework, read on...

Abilities

Basic Attack

  • Double Strike (melee) - Mehen leaps out and attacks a random enemy, swinging down and then up with a second swing, scoring a hit each time.

Passive Abilities

  • Always By Your Side - When Mehen is in the formation, Farideh and Havilar become eligible for the current adventure, even if a Patron, Variant, or other restriction would say otherwise.

Formation Abilities

  • Grumpy - Mehen gains a stack of Grumpy for each of the following checks that is met. He increases the damage of all Champions in the formation by 100% for each stack of Grumpy he has, stacking multiplicatively.
    • Adjacent to Farideh
    • At least two columns behind Havilar
    • At the top of the column

    • Within 2 slots of Champions with at least 6 unique roles

  • Intimidating Presence - When a monster tries to attack any Champion in the formation for the first time, the damage is prevented and the monster is stunned for 5 seconds and takes 200% more damage during this time. If the attacked Champion is Havilar, the duration is 10 seconds instead.
  • Gruff - Mehen increases Gold Find of the formation by 100% for every stack of Grumpy that he has, stacking multiplicatively.
  • Expose Weakness - When a Champion adjacent to Mehen applies a stun, knockback, slow, or root, the enemy takes 1000% more damage for 10 seconds. If Farideh is adjacent to Mehen, she prioritizes attacking those enemies. This debuff does not stack, but the duration is extended if it applies again before it expires.

Specializations

  • Fighting Force - Mehen increases the effect of Grumpy by 100% for each DPS Champion in the formation, stacking multiplicatively and applying to the post-stack value.

Ultimate Ability
